Rules

By engaging in our community, you agree to abid by the following rules. Our staff team will actively enforce them to ensure BTE France remains an enjoyable place for everyone. The staff team reserves itself the right to take any action it considers necessary to achieve that goal. As such, common sense applies first and these rules should be interpreted as guidelines and not literally. Exploiting loopholes is therefore not acceptable.

If you have any question, checkout the 🇬🇧・how-to-join and 📍・ip channels on Discord, the information there should cover about everything. If it fails to answer your question, our Helpers and Staff are available both on Discord and in-game and will gladly guide you.

Discord server rules

  1. All forms of racism, sexism, homophobia, and other forms of prejudice are prohibited. Includes voice, Text channels, DMs with no exceptions.

  2. Sending any attachment (video/image/link) that contains erotic/sexual content or gore is forbidden. Suggestive/Minor NSFW in text, voice, emojis and reactions is also not allowed, but is taken more lightly.

  3. Talk of politics and other heavy topics is prohibited in all channels. This is a server dedicated to the Build The Earth project alone, and we do not allow heavy or dividing topics to be discussed.

  4. All aspects of Discord TOS must be followed (including but not limited to the age requirement of 13). Jokes about breaking TOS will be treated as facts. Read up here .

  5. You are not allowed to play on a cracked account (an illegitimate Minecraft account). This does not include launchers like MultiMc or Badlion as you require a legitimate Minecraft account to use them.

  6. Criminal behaviour (death threats, blackmailing, etc...) is not allowed. If the context is shown to disprove actual criminal behaviour, it will be met by a warning for further discretion.

  7. Having a username/profile picture/status/Game Activity that contains any violation of our rules is prohibited. This also includes impersonation of Staff members (Having an identical profile picture and username/nickname).

  8. Unsolicited advertising (through voice, text channels, or DMs) is prohibited.

  9. Accusing someone for breaking rules in public chats is prohibited. Instances of such are considered defamatory. If you have any proof, contact a Staff member privately about it and we will handle the situation accordingly.

  10. General toxic behaviour is not allowed in any channels. This includes, but is not limited to, earrape, loud/annoying noises and screams in voice chats and posted audio/video files, spreading slander/lies, and rude, insulting or derogatory language towards users/staff.

  11. Usage of channels that deviate from their purpose is not allowed. Please read the channel description before chatting to avoid punishment by Staff.

  12. Evading any punishment is heavily forbidden.

  13. Exploiting rule loopholes is also not allowed. General common sense applies to all rules, and must be reported immediately.

Ranks

The server is organized with ranks that reflect players' achievements, roles and permissions. There are two types of ranks on BTE France, player ranks and staff ranks. Except the Ingénieur rank, all player ranks are open to everyone, after the staff team reviews the application. If you feel like you deserve a rank, you are free to ask for it in the support channel (not in DMs).

Staff roles, on the other hand, are granted to people that have shown initiative in the past and had an impact significant enough on BTE France for the rest of the staff to invite them in. There is no need to ask for a staff role, no new staff member will be appointed unless there is a clear need to scale up the staff team. Most of the current staff members have been there since the first months of the project.

Ranks

Visitor : this is the default rank you will get when joining the Minecraft server for the first time. It lets you:

  • Visit the server with /visite (for our most notable constructions) and /warps (for all warps).
  • Ask any question if there is no warp to go somewhere, it usually means that there isn't anything built there.

[Beginner]/ Débutant : you get this rank when you want to start building on the server. You simply need to ask a staff member for it when connected to the Minecraft server in order to get it.

It lets you:

  • build
  • help other people you need to let the staff known where you are building by posting a message in french-chat before starting your build.

Builder : the builder rank certifies that you are an official builder on BuildTheEarth.net .A guide is available in how-to-join to help you apply.

Foreman / Contremaître : this rank is given as a recognition of your investment on the server and does not grant you any additional permissions.

You have to meet certain criteria in order to get it:

  • Respecting the Build The Earth building guidelines,
  • Having built at least 25 buildings or the equivalent,
  • Having enough details in your builds (make a good use of buttons, mixes, trapdoors, vegetation etc)
  • Speaking properly

Architect : just like Foreman , this rank does not grant you any additional permissions, it directly follows Foreman , and comes with a few additional conditions:

  • your city or village has enough progress, and your builds are well detailed,
  • you built at least one important building (castle, church, town hall)
  • you keep the community informed of your progress on Discord ( 🌍・showcase or 🤝・progrès・aide-build ),
  • You have been playing on BTE France for at least a month

Engineer : this is the most important rank you can get besides staff ranks.

Staff ranks

Helper : le grade Helper est le premier grade staff. Ils sont des modérateursils sont là pour vous aider sur vos constructions, ils vous donnent des conseils sur les fonctionnalités de BTE (WorldEdit, tutos…). Comme inscrit plus haut, les Helpers sont modérateurs en cas d’absence des Staff : ils peuvent vous passer en grade de Débutant à Architecte

Développeur : le grade Développeur est donné aux membres de BTE France qui aident à développer certains de nos outils (site Internet, bots ou bien plugins).
